Happy Summer Days

July SOTM - Great Impressions

I have to admit - each month I can hardly wait to see the new Stamp of the Month that comes out from Great Impressions. The deal at my favorite local stamp store is purchase 2 stamps for the month and get the SOTM 1/2 price. I headed over to Stamp Works and picked out Splashing Penguin & Summer Days to go along with the Circle Background. Check out the Artboard Samples on-line....they are awesome! You can also look at previous months and drool :)

My first card I followed the instructions on the project sheet from Great Impressions for the layout. The second card I made up my own. They turned out really cute!!

The patterned papers are new from Flair Designs Hit the Beach Collection. I used Making Waves and One Fish, Two Fish. WAY CUTE PAPER!! The textured cardstock is from Brazzill. Inks are from Stampin'UP! I used Prismacolor & Stampin'UP! markers to color images. And of course -- Sickles Glitter Glue here and there.

Have fun Stamping and Crafting everyone!
